Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-14726:
------------------------------------
cURL is the "default", so probably what we should default to. Instead of
mentioning wget or Perl, we could perhaps mention HttPIE (I love it), as well
as the DevTools section of YASA, which I suppose can handle POST as well as
GET, see screenshot:
!yasa-http.png!
Once the Ref Guide is consistent in using standard tools, we still don't need
to remove bin/post in 9.0, it can remain as a hidden gem throughout 10.x to
cause the least surprise for folks who have integrated it into their tooling
already, and to allow decent alternatives for indexing a whole folder structure
to emerge.

> The reference guide Solr tutorial is here:
> https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_6/solr-tutorial.html
> It needs to be simplified and easy to follow. Also, it should reflect our
> best practices, that should also be followed in production. I have following
> suggestions:
> # Make it less verbose. It is too long. On my laptop, it required 35 page
> downs button presses to get to the bottom of the page!
> # First step of the tutorial should be to enable security (basic auth should
> suffice).
> # {{./bin/solr start -e cloud}} <-- All references of -e should be removed.
> # All references of {{bin/solr post}} to be replaced with {{curl}}
> # Convert all {{bin/solr create}} references to curl of collection creation
> commands
> # Add docker based startup instructions.
> # Create a Jupyter Notebook version of the entire tutorial, make it so that
> it can be easily executed from Google Colaboratory. Here's an example:
> https://twitter.com/TheSearchStack/status/1289703715981496320
> # Provide downloadable Postman and Insomnia files so that the same tutorial
> can be executed from those tools. Except for starting Solr, all other steps
> should be possible to be carried out from those tools.
> # Use V2 APIs everywhere in the tutorial
> # Remove all example modes, sample data (films, tech products etc.),
> configsets from Solr's distribution (instead let the examples refer to them
> from github)
> # Remove the post tool from Solr, curl should suffice.
